Nikki Haley Says She Won’t Defend Trump’s ‘Communication Style’
The Hill ^ | 05/06/18 | Luis Sanchez

nited Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley said on Sunday that she won’t defend President Trump’s “communication style.”

"First of all, he has his communication style," Haley told CBS’s “Sunday Morning.” "But you're not hearing me defend that.

"What I will tell you is if there is anything that he communicates in a way that I'm uncomfortable with, I pick up the phone and call him, and I tell him that. And I think that's something that he deserves from me,” the former South Carolina governor said.

Haley said that she doesn’t believe she needs to publicly detail the private conversations she has with the president but noted that she thinks Trump is receptive to them.

Haley hit back at the White House last month after a top adviser claimed that she was confused when she said the administration would impose new sanctions on Russia.

“With all due respect, I don’t get confused,” Haley said in a statement that was read on Fox News.

Her statement came hours after top White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow said that Haley “got ahead of the curve” when she announced during a Sunday interview show that the administration would roll out the sanctions the next day.

Kudlow later told The New York Times that he told Haley he had misspoken due to incomplete information.

On Sunday, Haley also said that the president should not shut down special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election but added that the investigation needs to wrap up quickly “for the good of the country.”

I think people should take her comments in context rather than just reacting to the headline.

“The most likely fact of the matter is that she’s doing exactly what she and Trump have discussed”

I can’t understand how some people like you on this site think that she is operating on some inherent power on her own that she brings to that bureaucratic job.

The key is “what she and Trump have discussed.” She has no authority on her own and she operates solely on Trumps permission and agenda.

What she says about the UN and all she says about the UN was said by Trump years before he became president.

She is a bit outspoken strictly because she wanted to be Secretary of State and probably still does strictly to advance her position and get her face on TV as a “strong female.” That is the going thing these days. She wants to be president.

I wasn’t referring to Trump, but to his cult supporters of whom you seem to be one.

I never said that! You are trying to make a point that does not need making. She’s an effective ambassador, unlike most of them that we’ve had.
